Albrecht Durer's engraving "Christ before Caiaphas" from his series "The Passion" depicts the moment where Jesus is brought before the Jewish high priest Caiaphas for trial. This powerful scene, created in 1512, showcases Durer's mastery of detail and realism, as he meticulously renders the figures and their expressions. The focus on the figures' clothing and the dramatic lighting creates a sense of tension and drama, while the composition emphasizes the contrast between Jesus' calm acceptance and Caiaphas' stern authority.
